Report summary

University of Miami Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in 2015-2026 reads as a 19-PI network with 5 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Engineering as the leading field (40% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), Mechanics of Materials as the leading subfield (11% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels), and Mechanical Behavior of Composites as the leading topic (5% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels). That is of concern for a 19-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The leading PI names are Kaufui V. Wong (30.1 weighted works; Nutritional Studies and Diet, Urban Heat Island Mitigation); Francesco Travascio (29.6 weighted works; Knee injuries and reconstruction techniques, Musculoskeletal pain and rehabilitation). The most visible ties are Xiangyang Zhou and Hongtan Liu (4 shared works, weight 2.6). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 5 PIs, 4 internal connections, weight 6, around Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanics of Materials, Automotive Engineering, led by Emrah Çelik, Xiangyang Zhou, Hongtan Liu.
